Russia's use of convicts in military operations has become a significant aspect of the war against Ukraine. Recent reports have highlighted that prisoners, including those with serious criminal records, are often coerced into frontline duties with promises of amnesty. The Kremlin's decision to mobilize these individuals has led to societal unrest, especially when these ex-convicts return home, sometimes causing further violence. Additionally, controversial honors for such individuals have raised public anger. This strategy of staffing the military with convicts reflects Russia's need for manpower in a prolonged conflict, despite international criticism and internal dissatisfaction.
